Continuing with the introduction to new teaching artists… meet Natasha!

Natasha Brennan (they/the) and their small red bike try to avoid stopping at the intersection of Transit and Brook Street because you need the downhill momentum to get over the other side. They are an illustrator and print maker who focuses on zines, art for children, posters, and community based projects. They graduated from RISD with a BFA in Illustration and a concentration in Literary Arts in 2020. In their free time, they write stories, explore Providence, knit, and dream of secret special places.
